Grand Central Terminal

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

A drawing I made in Grand Central Terminal, New York City a few years back when I could really feel the heightened security.

A GREAT place to draw regardless.

Cold day

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

Yesterday’s unseasonably cold weather reminded me of this drawing I made last year. It was an unseasonably warm day then, but I was standing on a patch of ice that had yet to melt and by the time I had made this drawing outside of the American Museum of Natural History, I was trembling. Suffering for art I suppose…

Town Hall

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

Here is a drawing from a concert I attended (during then unscheduled nor’easter) at Town Hall NYC last Saturday. The performer, Jeff Mangum, had not performed for nearly 13 years so it was a room filled with an unusual level of anticipation.

Tailgating

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Tailgating at a football game in 83° weather is such a treat for fans living in the North-East. Here’s a drawing of some people standing around eating and drinking in their shorts, flip-flops and of course football jerseys.

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

Had a chance to catch the ex-Pavement frontman last Sunday night at Webster Hall in NYC. I decided to break out the black paper and crayons for this one. I always enjoy working in this “reverse” way and I just felt like it captured the mood a bit better than black on white…however, I did make a few pen drawings as well. You can see the entire series of drawings on my blog www.gregbetza.com

This watercolor study was painted at the New York Botanical Garden. The gardens are one of my favorite places to work, a place where you can sit peacefully, surrounded by beauty. Have a great weekend.
